used to the seats we sit in – v2

following invisible snail trails
the grooves in the carpet
walking the same steps
each week, together

like a one-room schoolhouse
the seats all numbered
many families represented
each child known by name

used to the seats we sit in
in the sanctuary, our pews
even when others are missing
sitting in the same places

used to the seats we sit in
thirty-five in attendance at worship
because of the snow storm
all sitting in our regular seats
asked to move forward
